RVBD.nasdaq

Suntrust Robinson Humphrey analyst Rodney Ratliff today raised his rating on shares of networking equipment firm Riverbed Technology to Buy from Neutral, with a $38 price target, arguing that the company’s 43% share of the “WAN optimization market” makes it a valuable purchase at a beaten-down stock multiple.
The shares trade for 22 times the $1.20 in EPS he’s modeling next year, above the consensus $1.15. Ratliff thinks that’s too cheap given the company’s 31% growth rate for earnings, and he thinks a more appropriate multiple is 32 times.
Worries about the company’s recent weakness in European sales are reflected in the shares, writes Ratfliff, while the recent appointment of a new head of sales for the region, Willem Hendrickx, who is “well-connected and well-liked by the customer base” could improve performance in that regard.
Riverbed’s acquisitions of privately held Aptimize and Zeus Technology should help the company improve its standing in the “cloud” computing market, he thinks. Zeus makes “virtual application delivery controllers,” which can increase the company’s share of application delivery controllers, and Aptimize enhances Web browser performance and ties into Riverbed’s deal with Akamai .

La guerre des brevets

Apple a déposé devant plusieurs tribunaux dans différents pays des plaintes contre Samsung, Motorola et HTC. Le groupe californien accuse ces trois constructeurs majeurs, qui utilisent le logiciel Android de Google, de violation des droits de propriété intellectuelle et de copie du design et de l'interface de ses appareils.
Un tribunal de Düsseldorf, en Allemagne, a décidé mercredi d'interdire provisoirement la vente de la tablette Galaxy de Samsung dans l'Union européenne - hors Pays-Bas - à la suite d'une procédure initiée par le créateur de l'iPad.
Brian Marshall, analyste au cabinet Gleacher & Co, estime que si Apple montre avec un certain succès ses muscles dans la guerre des brevets, la véritable bataille du groupe à la pomme concerne Android.
"Apple ne se soucie pas tellement des fabricants d'électronique", ajoute-il.
De fait, avec près de 550.000 appareils Android activés par jour, le système d'exploitation de Google est en train d'assiéger l'iPhone d'Apple sur le marché des smartphones.
Cet élan pourrait toutefois être freiné en justice par la multiplication des procès intentés par Apple.
Toute injonction remportée par Apple, si elle est appliquée, pourrait signifier qu'Android peut être forcé de retirer la fonctionnalité incriminée de son logiciel, explique Ron Laurie, consultant dans le domaine des brevets au cabinet Inflexion Point Strategy.
"Cela le rendrait (Android) moins attractif et les gens iraient voir ailleurs", ajoute-il.
Eric Schmidt, le président de Google, a fustigé récemment ses concurrents qui, selon lui, répondent au succès d'Android en saisissant les tribunaux au lieu d'innover.

We will see over the long term, but Donald Trump is betting we are closer to the bottom than not.He went on CNBC this morning to discuss his recent purchases, which he made yesterday."I'm not a stock person," Trump said. "I love real estate, but good real estate is very hard to get."
Trump said that he purchased a basket of blue-chip names. He purchased Bank of America (NYSE: BAC), Citigroup (NYSE: C ), Caterpillar (NYSE: CAT), Intel (NASDAQ: INTC), Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ and Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG).

Ironwood Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: IRWD) and Forest Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE: FRX) today announced they have recently submitted a New Drug Application (NDA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for linaclotide, a guanylate cyclase type-C (GC-C) agonist, for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C) and chronic constipation (CC). The submission includes efficacy and safety data from a Phase 3 program comprising four double-blind placebo-controlled trials and two open-label long term safety studies. A total of more than 2,800 patients received a once-daily dose of either linaclotide or placebo across the four placebo-controlled clinical trials: two trials in patients with IBS-C and two trials in patients with CC. In these trials, statistically significant improvements in abdominal and bowel symptoms were achieved for linaclotide-treated patients versus placebo-treated patients for all primary and secondary endpoints.

IPO

Ça prend un certain courage pour faire son entrer en bourse c'est temps-ci...plusieurs compagnies décident tout simplement de retarder et même d'annuler le processus.

Pour Carbonite....il y a eu un petit changement mais décide de foncer quand même...

Carbonite, Inc. has filed its eighth amendment to its S-1 filing to come public. It was just on August 1 that we had financial terms set at 5.4 million shares of common stock in a price range of $15.00 to $17.00 per share. IPOs are usually not immune to the woes of the financial markets and it turns out that Carbonite is not immune either.
The IPO terms have now been adjusted due to market conditions: The offering is 6.25 million shares, broken down as being 5,366,473 shares being sold by the company and 883,527 shares offered by the selling stockholders. The new price range has been slashed down to $10.00 to $11.00 per share.

The company’s flagship consumer product is a $59 flat fee for one year of unlimited online backup. It also introduced a small to mid-sized businesses in 2010. As of June 30, 2011, Carbonite claims more than 1.1 million consumer and SMB subscribers in over 100 countries.
The company also generated revenue of $38.6 million and $27.2 million in 2010 and the six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively; but net losses were $25.8 million and $10.0 million in the same periods. Bookings have grown from $14.1 million in 2008 to $54.1 million in 2010.

ZTE Corp (SHE: 000063, HKG: 0763), the world's fifth biggest phone maker, expected its shipments to the US to double annually over the next three years and the US would overtake China as its largest market by 2015.
A ZTE executive said Tuesday that the company was confident of selling 80 million cellphones this year including 12 million smartphones. ZTE intends to launch 30 smartphone prototypes this year. It sold 35 million cellphones globally including 4.5 million smartphones in the first half of 2011, up 30% and 400% respectively from the same period a year ago.
"Doing a great job in the US is a sign of international success just like an successful movie star has to make his or her name known in Hollywood," said ZTE vice executive director He Shiyou.
